The Canastota Conservation Club is a freindly and safe place to participate in the sport of shooting. Whether it be pistol shooting, sighting in your favorite hunting shotgun, or learning the discipline of the world of reloading and bench rest shooting, the Canastota Conservation Club is the perfect choice to come partake in the art of sport shooting. The Club has a wide variety of ranges to shoot
at, starting at 50 yards, 100, 200, 300, 400,500, and 600 yards, with tall and solid earth berm-backstops. The Club also features a pistol pit, with high berms on the sides and front. With benches on the rifle range, that are VERY sturdy and secured to flat, clean cement pavement, these benches are excellent in providing a stable foundation to aid in the zeroing of your firearm. All benches are covered by a pavilion to protect you from having to sit out in the sun on hot days, or keep you dry on rainy days. Extra targets are on hand incase you forget yours at home, along with thumbtacks donated by the club.The Club provides a golf cart to make trips down range less tiresome and is available to all Club members. Experianced weapons experts are available to help assist any people who are new to shooting and looking to learn the basics, or for people who are looking to advance their ballistic knowledge. The club has been in operation for 60 years, and has hosted sanctioned matches by top organizations, with top shooters coming from around the nation and around the globe to participate in these exciting events. The Clubhouse is open to all members, with women and men's private bathroom facilities, a full kitchen with microwave for lunch-breaks during a full day of shooting, and a classroom for membership meetings to discuss future Club events, or feel free to utilize the classroom to enjoy your lunch.
